Welcome![edit]

Hello, LeeAnneMitch, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I've added the above template simply based upon your question at WP:THQ#How do I edit my company's wikipedia page?. The template contains links to other pages where you can find more information about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines related to COI editing and paid-contributions. Please note that even though you didn't name your company in your Teahose question, that an employee of a company is in most case going to be considered to have a financial conflict of interest with respect to anything written about the company or those connected to the company on Wikipedia. This means as an employee you are almost certainly going to be subject to Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure, and a failure to comply with this Wikipedia policy is going to be considered to be a violation of wmf:Terms of Use and will lead to your account being WP:BLOCKed by an administrator. You should also try and understand that it is the person doing the editing who is subject to the above-mentioned policies and guidelines, not the account itself; so, creating a new account to edit doesn't mean that you would no longer be subject to any of the above. I am only providing this information to you so that you better understand the kinds of edits you can and cannot make with respect to anything written about your company. It's being done to help you try and avoid problems with your editing, not to accuse you of already doing something wrong. If you have any questions about this, you can ask them below or ask them at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:51, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello LeeAnneMitch,

Based on your Teahouse question, you are clearly a paid editor. Please read and comply with Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. You must declare who is paying you and the articles you intend to edit. This is mandatory and not negotiable. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:57, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
